Predicting the Future
“Aircraft flight is impossible.” Lord Kelvin
“The [flying] machines will eventually be fast; they
will be used in sport but they should not be thought
of as commercial carriers.” Octave Chanute, 1910
“There has been a great deal said about a 3,000 mile
rocket. In my opinion such a thing is impossible for
many years. I think we can leave that out of our
thinking.” Vannevar Bush, 1945
“…the Gas Turbine can hardly be considered a
feasible application to airplanes…” Committee with
Von Karman, Millikan, Kettering, 1941
(Reported by N. Augustine)
